What's your Speedo top speed read , might Need a new one after you get it going properly.

Half power is a ton of power to have to kill.  

Understand there are no inserts in the exhaust - but what is the ID of the head pipes - both at the cylinder head and at the collector box?

Are the throttle butterflies restricted from opening all the way?

Are the slides restricted from raising all the way?



Despite your frustration with no one here having the answer off the top of their head for what sounds like a specially detuned bike for a market none of are familiar with, you have quite a few knowledgeable people trying to help solve a problem they are not familiar with.  

I'm sure with cooperation with the help being provided, the issue can be resolved.  



Added:  also thought of the camshafts - did Yamaha do a limited run of very low lift or very short duration camshafts?  Or is it possible to change the cam timing enough to reduce that much power (and still keep valves and pistons away from each other?



You may find with such a drastic reduction in power that there may be several things at play.

My bike came from Switzerland, but all places where it was restricted have already been mentioned here.
Someone asked about the speedo - no change needed. It is the same. Only rpm red line starts cca. 1000 rpms sooner. At least on my bike.
Sorry, no actual help from my side, but that is the reason I asked you earlier whether something might just be broken.
